Supply Chain Transparency

Trase Supply Chains combines self-disclosed data from companies with customs, shipping, tax, logistics and other data to map in unprecedented detail the supply chains linking consumer countries, and traders, with places of production, as well as the patterns of ownership and investment in trading companies. This allows companies, financial institutions, governments and others to understand the risks and identify opportunities for more sustainable production.

Trase comprehensively maps supply chains of key commodities, such as Brazilian soy or Indonesian palm oil exports, providing a wall-to-wall map of the central stages of a supply chain. It already covers over half the global trade in forest-risk commodities and continues to expand coverage to new commodities and geographies where sustainability action is urgently needed.

Trase is widely recognized by market, government and civil society leaders as a unique and powerful source of information and intelligence. By bringing a new level of transparency and insight to the drivers of deforestation, Trase is catalysing targeted action across entire export markets.

Trase Insights provides articles, publications and analysis on the sustainability of commodity trade, written by Trase’s team of experts and partners.
